i realize it's november 3- but december is - without a doubt- my favorite month of the year!

i woke up in greenville, south carolina saturday morning

to a blanket of snow on the ground- it was beautiful and oh so romantic.

{photos coming soon- adore this little city- so much}

i just love living close to this adorable place

and having a childhood best friend there makes it even sweeter

along with several amazing friends that i have become very close with since 2008

i am always dreaming about fun wrapping paper, glitter, christmas shopping, cozy homes, delicious food, tinsel, advent ... this season is the most glorious of them all.
